Bluebox wins “Inflight Entertainment System Provider” award at Inflight Middle East

At this year’s Inflight Middle East event in Dubai, Bluebox has walked away with a prize that rewards the IFE vendor which demonstrates an ongoing and sustained commitment to delivering best practice, while showing a creative and innovative approach to in-flight entertainment hardware.

Bluebox’s portable wireless deployment with Jazeera (see News), along other carriers around the world, and the company’s award-winning innovation in accessible IFE were all cited as reasons for the win.

Originally shortlisted for the award along with Panasonic, Thales and Zodiac Inflight Innovations – the win delighted Mark Stevens, Sales Director, EMEA, who accepted the award on behalf of Bluebox.

Awards … and even more Innovation

The award ceremony took place at the end of the day, just after Mark’s participation in the final panel discussion of the Inflight workshop programme.
